On September 6, 2025, a grand regional event — the 4th Festival of National Cultures “Yarmarochny Razgulyai” — took place in Berdsk on the square in front of the “Rodina” Palace of Culture. The festival became a true celebration of friendship, unity, and creativity, bringing together different peoples and cultures.

Highlights of the festival included:

• National courtyards: Guests could explore traditional dwellings and lifestyles of the peoples of Russia, including Russian log houses, Kazakh yurts, and Evenki huts.

• Gastronomic festival: Visitors enjoyed tastings of national dishes such as Tatar chak-chak, pilaf, kulesh, and other treats.

• Workshops and exhibitions: Folk crafts, traditional instruments, and decorative-applied art displays were presented.

• Concert “Multifaceted Siberia”: Bright performances from creative groups across Siberia.

Tatar culture was vividly presented by the creative groups of the Novosibirsk Regional Tatar Cultural Center (directed by R.Sh. Tikhomirova). The celebration opened with a colorful parade of participants.
The vocal ensemble “Ak Chishmä” (led by D.Sh. Sabirova) took part in the “Multifaceted Siberia” concert.
Kamilya Khaliullina, soloist of the “Sälyam” vocal ensemble, performed on the festival’s main stage.
The folklore ensemble “Sandugach” (directed by R.S. Galieva) also decorated the program with a vibrant performance.

In addition, Ramziya Galieva organized an exhibition of the Regional Tatar National-Cultural Autonomy (RTNKA), featuring traditional Tatar crafts, costumes, and delicacies.
The Berdsk branch of RTNKA “Duslyk” (led by Murshida Akhmedzyanova) also took active part. Local craftswomen showcased their works in such a way that the “Tatar Courtyard” exhibition became a true highlight of the festival.

We thank everyone who took part in this wonderful autumn celebration, delighting guests with folk songs and dances on the festival’s many stages.

The festival was a wonderful gift for the residents of Berdsk on the occasion of City Day. As Berdsk Mayor Semyon Lapitsky noted, such events strengthen interethnic harmony and bring the joy of communication.
